In context

¹¹But refuse to enroll younger widows. For when their passions draw them away from Christ, they will want to marry,

¹²And thus will incur judgment because they are setting aside their first faith.

¹³At the same time they will also learn to be idle, going from house to house and being not only idle, but also gossips and busybodies, discussing things they should not mention.

¹⁴So I advise the younger widows to marry, have children, and manage their households, denying the adversary occasion for slander.

¹⁵For some have already turned aside to follow Satan.
